When in deadly danger, When beset by doubt, Run in little circles, Wave your arms and shout.

Cute!?! Is that all you can say about my masterpiece.
I'm insulted.
I think I'll crawl into a hole and die.

If you believed it a masterpiece, you would run in little circles, wave your arms and shout, "I'm insulted."

Ugh. Skewered by a cunning retort. But I'm too lazy. I might possibly rock to and fro and whimper a bit but that's about all.

You sir, are a moron. Please refrain from commenting on my poetry ever again.

Fine, but where's the rest of it? I feel strangely unsatisfied.

That's what I thought when I wrote it, but I couldn't be bothered to write anymore.

I'm sorry to inform you, sir, that this piece is not as original as you might believe. In the 60's, there were posters with this poem in every accounting office. Ah, at my age, there is nothing new. A-5- for channeling the past so well.

I wasn't around in the 60's, nor have I been in an accounting office. I know nothing of these posters so as far as I'm concerned, this is a brilliantly original poem.
